Third Coast Percussion & Salar Nader, tabla - Murmurs in Time
SEE EVENT DETAILS
In a poignant tribute to the late tabla master and longtime Cal Performances friend Zakir Hussain, Chicago's Third Coast Percussion continues a collaboration initiated with the music legend before his passing.
The Grammy-winning ensemble, praised for performances that "push percussion in new directions, blurring musical boundaries and beguiling new listeners" (NPR), had commissioned Hussain to compose Murmurs in Time--a major work that combines the beauty and complexity of Hindustani classical music with the group's new-music ethos. In this new work, Salar Nader, a tabla virtuoso and disciple of Hussain since age seven, performs his teacher's part in the ensemble.
The program also includes newly commissioned works from in-demand composer/performers Jessie Montgomery, Tigran Hamasyan, and Jlin, and a solo performance by Nader.
